Arnold Schwarzenegger | $400 million

American-Austrian businessman, actor, and retired professional bodybuilder, Arnold Alois Schwarzenegger was the 38th Governor of the state of California from 2003 to 2011. Recently, he became the Republican Governor of California in 2021. He is regarded as one of the highest-paid and most famous actors in the entertainment world.

During the peak of Schwarzenegger’s career, he was continuously earning somewhere between $20 million to $30 million per movie. Since stepping foot in the US in the ‘70s, he has made various investments, notably in real estate. His real estate alone is worth more than $100 million. From the start of his career until today, he has earned at least $400 million, before taxes, from his movie salaries alone. His highest paying film was  Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, where he earned an estimated $35 million. We’re sure he’ll still be making films and raking in the moolah for years to come.
